Shortening a pimple's life cycle?

[mabelwan]

I used Paula's Pimple lotion but it's too dry for me so I switched to "Acne Free" ,which is a pimple terminator gel. It's awesome! You can find it at Target.

I apply MK Blemish Toner as soon as I have one. It knocks it out within 2 days. Supposedly using the paste toothpastes (not gels) help clear them up pretty fast too.

I usually use toothpaste or Clean and Clear Persa Gel..

ACV stands for Apple Cider Vinegar

I have a goober on my cheek right now and I used the Aztec Clay mask with ACV last night and covered my face with pure aloe vera gel and went to bed. It seems to have worked. It's already less inflamed and smaller.

Thanks, loves

you could try a clay mask or if it's popped, neosporin. works for me.

has anyone ever gone to a dermatologist to have it zapped? If so how much does it cost?
